Not the Intel logo while booting, but the photo of a rocky coast that appears after booting the PC - and which I have to 'pass' by pressing the space bar in order to (instantaneously) arrive at the Windows login?

My BIOS version is 249.

I would like to arrive at the Windows login without having to press the space bar

Thanks! It was late in my country when I posted this question. In bed before sleep came over me, I realized it must be Windows 10 :-) (I come from Windows 7 which has no such intermediate screen.) Same style network icon in the right lower corner and of course just illogical that Intel would present such a screen with a picture like that.

Here's tutorial explaining how to dump the lock screen by a regedit (warning: first make a recovery point and don't do this if you don't want to take any risks):
